Clonal expansion in follicular lymphoma occurs subsequent to antigenic selection
The genesis of human follicular lymphoma (FL) is a multistep process. The initial event is thought to be the chromosomal translocation t(14;18)(q32;q21) juxtaposing the bcl-2 proto-oncogene with the immunoglobulin (Ig) H chain locus joining segment (JH) as an error of D-J or V-D joining in the pre-B cell. However, FL is recognized clinically as a tumor of surface Ig (sIg)-positive B cells with ...
متن کاملAntigenic mimicry, clonal selection and autoimmunity.
The triggering of autoimmunity by infection or immunization is often blamed on antigenic mimicry. But the concept of antigen mimicry impinges on our understanding of adaptive immunity in general, and not only on autoimmunity. Here are some thoughts about the consequences of immune mimicry.
متن کاملA molecular analysis of biclonal follicular lymphoma: further evidence for bone marrow origin and clonal selection
We report a follicular lymphoma (FL) case presenting the coexistence of two tumor cell subpopulations in lymph node (LN) and bone marrow (BM), which exhibited an inverse pattern of immunoglobulin light (IgL) chain gene rearrangement and expression: Igkappa-lambda+ in LN and Igkappa+lambda- in BM. These tumor clones shared an identical BCL2-IgH recombination, accompanying t(14;18)(q32;q21) trans...
متن کاملPseudo T-cell lymphoma with clonal expansion related to hypersensitivity to amoxicillin.
T-cell lymphoproliferation are less frequent than B-cell and have some particular clinical features. We present a patient presenting with a reversible cutaneous and blood T-lymphocyte clonal expansion this case may be closed to the drug hypersensitivity syndrome.
متن کاملFollicular Lymphoma
The article entitled “Renal Infiltration of Follicular Lymphoma”, written by Petkovic et al. and published in one of the recent issues of your journal, was quite interesting [1]. Here we would like to emphasize some relevant points. Extranodal disease is relatively common; any organ may be involved. The most common sites of extranodal disease include the bone marrow, skin, gastrointestinal trac...
